If Neighbor does not cook for me, I eat food that is an 'instant' and easy to prepare.
Tonight's choice was a no brainer for me. 2 pieces Toasted Gardenia sourdough wholemeal grain french loaf slices with chunky peanut butter mixed with kaya or "coconut jam"
Kaya is a straits chinese favorite spread that is sold at branches of Toast Box, Kopi Tiam, Ah Wang and paired with 2 half boiled eggs and a choice of coffee or tea.
I had mine with chocolate malt.
It is comfort food. My gums are misbehaving again and I have confirmation from my autoimmunologist that it is linked to my Sjogren's syndrome. Gums bleed non stop and I need monthly visits to the dentist to scrape off plaque as I cannot brush properly with an inflammed mouth.
I literally spew blood during treatment....not a pretty sight! But my attitude is that I have to suck it up and move on.
There are loads of instant foods now...instant Knorr porridge, noodles of all flavors and Maggi pasta in a cup.
Korean Kimchi Soup with luncheon meat, tempeh and bits of sliced sausages
Fried egg with tomato
Steamed rice
SATURDAY DINNER
Rice with side of kimchi and pickled ginger
Grilled salmon head
Cucumber, peanut and beancurd stick pickles
Endame beans
Given that I have been diagnosed with oral lichen planus, spicy food and chilis aggravate my condition. 
Sigh...but I am Chilli Queen
